I’ve gotten to know two unrelated Thai nationals quite well, and both have had truly difficult backstories. Despite the severity of their past experiences, their approach to coping is strikingly different from what I might expect. Rather than seeking out antidepressants or other medications, they’ve chosen to move on and "hand it over to the Buddha." Their focus is on finding peace and acceptance through spiritual means rather than relying on pharmaceutical solutions. This perspective is both interesting and somewhat enlightening, showing a different cultural approach to dealing with life's challenges and emotional pain.
